was more demand for flour reported from
abroad to-day. The bids, generally, were re-
fused as being under the figures that could
be afforded. Some sales of bakers were on
offerings at that, cables were higgling for
something under it. The Improvement in
prospects. both OF demand and prices, has led
local millerS to increase the output. Some
complain yet that they cannot get back a
new dollar for the old one, and say its the
hope of improvement that keeps them RIM
ming. There has been hardening in values
of wheat, and flour has scarcely kept pace
with it, making the evidence stronger
in favor of some advance ahead.

Bran and ShortS-There is some irregularity
in prices in these mill products. caused by
difference in quality and the pressure of par
ties to sell. The most common range was
Sl0010.50. There were sales of poor stock
below these figures while some choice stock
was held above. Corn-The receipts and de-
mand are small. generally wanted for local
consumption only. Sales at $3.50 for good
samples ungraded. OetS-The feeling in the
market was not especially sJrong. There has
been large inquiry to send North, and there
is some yet, but not enough to make the mar
ket so sharp. The range was generally from
3O@31c with something nice at 81 &c by sam
ple Mixed Feed and Corn Meal-Dealers
asked from S16917 for feed delivered in the
city in lots of a ton or more: car lots on
track quoted at about soc a ton below that
meal SOC below feed. Hay was selling well,
and choice lots went to 81, and some holders
even asked above that; common stock So to
$40. Timothy nominal.
